About Shayla

Hello families! My name is Shayla and I'm seeking a full-time childcare role. I bring 15+ years of experience, primarily with newborns-6 yrs, and ground my care in Montessori principles-encouraging independence, creativity, and emotional attunement. I approach every situation with patience, adaptability, and care, whether guiding a child through big feelings, creating playful learning moments, or keeping the household rhythm flowing. My strengths include deep listening, problem-solving, and offering a nurturing presence that helps children feel safe and seen. As a parent, I understand the trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and have excellent references. Certifications include infant/child CPR & First Aid, college credits in child development, bilingual skills (Spanish & Mapudungun), meal prep/BLW support, and extensive nutrition knowledge. My rate is $25-30/hr. Thank you for your time and consideration-I look forward to connecting!
